Life itself is full of ups and downs. In fact left, right and center.
I think the ups and right are meant for the good side while down and left are for the bad situations. My own predictions anyway.
Life take tolls on us that we may even not have control over what it brings to us at times. We just have to maneuver our ways out of such ugly situations and there are times when it shows us the good side and we feel like we are the best among every other person out there who is giving life a trial to become successful in life. That's why my people would always say this:
He who is not dead yet can't predict the kind of death they will end up dieing
That is, when life shows you figure 6, do not ever think that the person life is showing 9 isn't trying enough or destined with bad luck because it's only a matter of turnaround for his or her own 9 to be 6 like yours as well.
I've had times when I thought and knew that everything was going the right direction for me like I've planned my life. A good man, a good work, great family, happiness flowing through my life right and center, and I never for once had reason to wake up at midnight and being unable to sleep back.
I would always think about it when some people around me would say they are unable to sleep at midnight why are they unable to sleep? Why are people still finding it difficult to get a suitable partner at this age? And many more Because I had a perfect life working for me at that moment just like children with no worries.
Starting to lose some of the things that made me happy and feel like a fulfilled person already, had a huge turn around on me and I would say among all that I lost, the most painful one was losing the one who cared for me right from the time she carried me in her womb. It was the greatest darkest hour of my life which I can't seize to talk about.
Letting go of the person who I had always embrace on arrival when I'm back home for a visit, eat her food and look into her eyes smiling was a great loss I had never imagined even if we all know that death is inevitable but I wasn't still ready for her to be taken away from me like that.
But as time goes on I had to move on based on the conclusion that I had to make her happy wherever she is by not being sad or living a lost life.
Every human's life journey are comparable to been a bitter leaf... Everyone would experience their own time for bitter leaf (challenges) but the time may just be different and at the end of every bitterleaf lies the sweetness. It only depends on us giving it time and exercising that patience just so the sweetness can show up.
I remember going through the prompt description again and seeing the funny part I skipped initially where the author mentioned charger spoiling and cooking gas been exhauaasted, lol. It made me remember the day I was praying for a miracle just so that my food will be ready before the gas finish and a neighbor came knocking that he was trying to prepare noodles when his gas finished and the noodles was in water already. "Am I not in Soup?" was the first question that crossed my mind but fortunately after getting his noodles cooked, I was able to manage getting my rice done before it went off.
Life has taught me to manage different times and I know everyone is still on the field of life learning how to live it. Whatever angle it shows at us, we are not alone in it because there are some people who had once passed through that same challenge and had overcome, there are some like you or I currently passing through it and there are some who would still pass through it looking up to us as someone who was once in their shoes to give them a way out.
(I refused to turn a motivational speaker, lol).
I'll be dropping my pen here on the SciFi Multiverse Prompt.
Thanks for reading through 🤗
